Family violence a 'black mark' on Victoria

Family violence is a black mark on the Victorian community, Premier Denis Napthine has said as he pledged a further $30 million to address the problem.

The funding, over four years, is on top of the $95 million package of family violence initiatives announced in the state budget in May.

Dr Napthine made the announcement at a gathering of community support organisations on Friday, which also heard that Victoria recorded 44 family violence-related deaths in 2013, 29 of whom were women.

"There is no doubt the scourge of family violence is a black mark on our community," Dr Napthine said.

"Family violence is completely and utterly unacceptable, and that includes physical violence, emotional violence, psychological violence and financial bullying.

"We, as a government, know it needs a holistic approach."

The extra funding will pay for a statewide introduction of the Strengthening Risk Management program, which brings together police, the courts, family violence and family services to support affected families.
